| Botanical Name | Pennisetum setaceum 'Rubrum' |
| Description | A show-stopping ornamental grass known for its arching, burgundy-purple foliage and rose-colored "foxtail" plumes. In the Houston area, it handles intense summer heat and high humidity with ease. While it is adaptable, it performs best in loose, well-drained soil; in areas with heavy clay, it is highly recommended to plant in raised beds or amend the soil to prevent "wet feet" during our rainy seasons. |
| Exposure | Full Sun for best color intensity. |
| Height x Width | 3-5 feet Tall x 2-4 feet Wide |
| Water | Low to Medium; drought tolerant once established. |
| Zones | 9-11 (Commonly grown as an annual in Houston). |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring. |
| Pruning | Cut back to 3-5 inches in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
